So, has anyone been preordering these packs? I saw that Amazon has them up, first with an expected date of May 1st...but once that day came, it got pushed back to May 15th, and I fully expect them to get pushed back again. I think EE has them up as well, shipping July/August-ish? I've considered preordering these, because it just seems like that Clone pack especially will be a bugger to get a hold of. Anyways, are any of you preordering these, or just waiting to try your luck at retail?

We just added a new poll to the main page, asking which character you'd like to see covered in the "Evolutions" line next. So head on over there and chime your butts in!

As always, we'll be forwarding the results along to Hasbro for their review. So let 'em know what you want. Keep in mind, that these are pretty much "definitive" super-articulated figures that we're talking about here, ala the VOTC line, but even better...

I put my vote in for Obi-Wan. As far as resculpts go, he's at the top of my list for a character that is in dire need of a revamp in every PT incarnation. There's simply not a single definitive Ewan-era Obi-Wan. In fact, I think he is one of the most ****-upon sculptwise in the entire line.

I'd take that evolution assortment in droves. I can only dream of what the Snowtrooper would look like too, with the softgoods. That would kick so much ass, I can see it now.

My dream from the list is the Rebel Troopers set though... A new Endor soldier would suit me fine, the Fleet Trooper I'd of course like to see redone that way, and the Hoth Trooper was an abysmal failure in the Saga line because Hasbro copped out on him so much. All 3 would be an ultimate army builder assortment to me if they put as much heart into that as the Clone set that is coming up.

As long as they didn't repackage the 3 repackaged imps from the OTC line (POTF2 CT stormie, Saga Snowtrooper and POTJ Biker scout) which would be the biggest ****-in-the-face from Hasbro since that piss-poor midget Hoth rebel trooper.

However, a repackage of the VOTC Stormie is just fiiiiiiine!

I really hope this idea takes off. I remember having this idea a long time ago, before Episode2 came out (I forget which board) when we were talking about new ideas for the cinema scenes. I thought there'd be something like ANH Han, ESB Han and ROTJ Han. I'm glad to see this idea coming true, as it can really be a wonderful thing as we saw at C3.

Even though I voted for the troopers, I would really like to see an Obi-Wan evolutions assortment. I would also (and this is kind of off topic) really like to see a VOTC-style Qui Gon Jinn.
